Overview
Organisational behaviour – often labelled simply as “culture” – is at the heart of both corporate success and failure. Yet internal audit has long struggled to address it due to perceived subjectivity, political sensitivity, and lack of structure. This webinar provides a step-by-step practical approach, drawing on the IIA’s draft Topical Requirement on Organisational Behavior, to give you the clarity, structure, and confidence to integrate culture into your audit work.
- Practical tools and frameworks for auditing behaviour and culture.
- Real-world examples and thematic review templates.
- Confidence to engage senior stakeholders on behavioural risk.
- Clear documentation approaches to meet professional requirements.
Who should attend?
- Internal Auditors (all sectors)
- Risk & Compliance Professionals

Course objectives
- Understand the IIA’s Organisational Behavior Topical Requirement – why it matters and how it reframes culture as a core audit topic.
- Embed behavioural risk into traditional risk-based audits – from cyber security to incentive schemes.
- Apply structured audit techniques – practical planning, fieldwork, and reporting approaches for culture reviews.
- Use behavioural frameworks – assess governance, risk management, and control processes that shape workplace behaviour.
